This action funds an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biological Informatics for fiscal year 2000.The research and training plan is in the area of ecology and is entitled, " A Web-Based Combinatorial Approach to the Effects of Biodiversity Loss on Complex Ecological Networks." Ecological research into biodiversity loss is limited by what experiments can actually be conducted and by the underlying theory which is complex, making it difficult to separate the many interacting processes. This project applies global optimization techniques and network analyses to high quality food-web data to simulate effects of small to large biodiversity losses on complex communities. Systematic deletion of combinations of species in empirical and model food-webs are being used to generate theory that distinguishes effects of reducing species richness from effects of eliminating particular species' functions on ecosystems.

该行动为2000财政年度生物信息学的NSF博士后研究奖学金提供了资金。研究和培训计划在生态学领域，并有权为“一种基于Web的组合方法，用于生物多样性损失对复杂生态网络的影响”。 生物多样性损失的生态研究受到实际可以进行的实验以及复杂的基础理论的限制，因此很难将许多相互作用的过程分开。 该项目将全球优化技术和网络分析应用于高质量的食品网络数据，以模拟小型至大型生物多样性损失对复杂社区的影响。 在经验和模型食品奖中物种组合的系统删除被用来产生理论，该理论区分了减少物种丰富度与消除特定物种对生态系统功能的影响的影响。
